Quacker is a web-based task manager with gamification elements designed to help young adults organize their tasks in a fun and engaging way.

Quacker adds a unique twist to traditional task management by turning productivity into a game-like experience. Instead of viewing tasks as chores, users complete them to earn food and nurture their virtual duck, making organization more rewarding. Neglecting tasks can result in the duck acting sad, refusing to evolve, or reacting humorously to missed responsibilities. To encourage consistency to users, daily streaks will unlock special rewards based on task completion habits, reinforcing positive behaviour. The goal is to create an intuitive, feature-rich task manage that seasmlessly blends habit information, making productivity more enjoyable and effective.

Pull requests are not necessary if your code has been 100% bug free. For tasks, there will be issues open where each member will one to work on. To add features, make a new branch separate from the main branch when working on it.

We will be using the GitHub Flow branching strategy to work on this project, where features are worked on in separate branches and then merged in the main branch after testing. Make a pull request to get any other collaborator to review and discuss the feature before merging.

Ensure you have the following on your computer:

• VS Code

Clone the project by copying and pasting the command in the <> Code button, then open the project in VS Code

Assign yourself an issue, then make a branch to work on it. All branches should be named after the feature's name

After the branch is made, complete the task

Have your files be placed in the correct folders

Here is some resources to help get organized: https://mitcommlab.mit.edu/broad/commkit/file-structure/

Add and commit you code to the repo, then push it so it's in GitHub

Use the Source Control tab to easily add and commit with typing the commands

Go to the GitHub repo and click on the pull requests tabs Create a new pull request with your branch merging into main

We will review and discuss our features, if they are able to be approved. Make changes and fix issues according to what was found in the discussions and review
